    Great news...

    Cue gloomers pointing out that this is just a fraction of the millions that were lost.

    I hope so, and I hope the asswhipes actions are backed up by thier tea bagging politics. Let us liberals make the money, then when thier greed kicks in and they finally start to by we cash out.

    actually, the counter point is that unemployment rate went to 9.9%.

    It is funny how the roles have reversed though. When Bush was in office, even when jobs rose 300k, all we heard about was how that was not enough to keep up with new workers entering the market. Now, 290k is 'great news'.

    As for the counter point above, the rise in the unemployment rate is actually a positive sign. It means more people who had given up looking are coming back into the job search. Translated... that means people's expectations on the economy are improving slightly.

    The jobs numbers were certainly stronger than expected, that is indeed good news... even without the census jobs, the number was strong (for this economy). It will be interesting to see next months numbers. Will the fears in Europe cause employers to pull back on hiring?

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    Just look at the trend, its been occuring since Obama took office.... the numbers have been constantly been improving along a steady trajectory for over a year. A couple months of outlyers, but the trend is strong.

    Honestly, I don't recall ever criticizing a 300K employment report in Bush's tenure. My main criticism of Bush during his time was that he had no economic policy whatsoever, wasted a lot of money on stupid decisions, and didn't give a hoot about deficit spending.

    Also, it's probably important to point out that comparing this kind of employment report in 2010 to, say, 2005, is just a bit different.

    I belive he is a Budhist, and not just because it sounds cool. He does seem to have a bias against liberalism and Democrats such that it affects his rational when discussing politics.

    Weird. I was lectured by at least ten billion conservatives that the obama stimulus was a disaster that was going to drive us into a depression.

    In other news, Fox News - suddenly and for some strange reason - asks the question: Does credit for economic recovery go to George W. Bush?

    Priceless, often fox news is funnier than the comedy channel though I don't think that is thier goal. Please repukes keep feeding the troll that is fox news. Obama will crush the neopuke that has to walk the party plank in 2012.
